Antique Art Deco Mirrored Dessert Stand



This incredible piece is an amazing example of Art Deco style. Art Deco is movement in decorative arts that also affected architecture. It derived its name from the World's fair held in Paris in 1925, formally titled the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, which showcased French luxury goods and reassured the world that Paris remained the international center of style. It was a major style in Europe from the early 1920s, though it did not catch on in the U.S. until about 1928, when it quickly modulated into the Moderne during the 1930s, the decade with which the concept of Art Deco is most strongly associated today. The proliferation of inlaid wood in geometric patterns is a common theme in this style and can be seen in abundance on this piece. Look at the triangle pattern on the drawers, which is echoed in the carvings on the center cabinet door; this pattern is beautiful! Triangle medallions on the outer cabinet doors are awesome. The most outstanding features of this piece are the mirror and the marble top. The beautiful hand beveled mirror has a flowing, graceful feel to it that you are sure to notice. The solid marble top was quarried in Belgium and is in incredible condition. This piece is definitely a charmer that you are sure to love. -c732oc211
